In svn Repository having a folder exProject.(which contains all the proj files) .
In my local machine I have my working copy also (versioned one).
How can I overwrite entire folder exProject in svn with code which I downloaded from somewhere else from my machine.
Thanks in advance
-overwrite the files on your local working copy with the files you got from somewhere else, then svn commit them.

I am very new to Tortoise SVN so I hope I use the correct terminology...
I have a repository, say C:/RCode and I was checking it out into say C:/Working. I do not know what exactly went wrong, but I must have checked out something in my repository C:/RCode. As a result, this folder has now features of both a repository and a checked out folder - e.g. it now also has the green v icon overlay next to the icon overlay of a repository.
How can I tell Tortoise that this is should not be a checkout folder?
To make Tortoise SVN forget a folder is a checked out folder, it suffices to show hidden files and folders in the folder of interest and then delete the hidden folder .svn
The command you're looking for is an svn export. An svn checkout is the process of tracking local changes into a series of deltas (inside that .svn folder) so that you may commit changes back to the repository.
An export does essentially what a checkout does, but without the version control aspect of it. The command you would run for your example would be:
svn export file:///C:/RCode C:/Working
Or if you're using TortoiseSVN:
Right click anywhere in Windows Explorer
Enter the URL of the repository and output directory
Specify a revision (HEAD by default)
Select OK.
Simply deleting the .svn folder works as well, but it's an extra step (along with cleaning your Recycle Bin). It's also worth noting that svn export is useful for making a copy of your local working copy (a checkout) to a non-versioned copy somewhere else on your local machine.
svn export C:/Working C:/NonCheckout
We are running CVS to manage some shell scripts in the department. The cvs repository previously ran on our server lynx in the directory /export/data/cvs/ . I have rsynced this data to a second server jaguar in the directory /export/data/cvs/. I have updated the environmental variable CVSROOT=jaguar:/export/data/cvs. When I do a cvs checkout on a machine the data comes from jaguar:/export/data/cvs/. However when I cvs commit and changes these are commited to lynx:/export/data/cvs. Are there other configuration files to change the destination of cvs commit
We are running cluster of rhel5 machines which are currently being upgraded to CentOS6
CVS records the root information in the Root file in every checked out directory (within the CVS directory). You need to change it all of those files.
find . -name Root from the top of the checkout working directory should find them all.
I am creating a svnrepository using svnadmin create svndump
In the svnsump I am creating a folder with the name trunk and importing some of my existing files.
svn import /home/somefiles/ file:///home/svndump/trunk/
But when i see trunk folder it does'nt contains any folder which are imported from somefiles folder.
but when i looked the files using svn log file:///home/svnadump/trunk/ i can see the files .
it seems files are copying but they are not adding to the repository..
how to add files to repository???
Please help me..
Thanks in Advance.
You should be using svn ls to view the contents of repository.
For adding files to repository once you have imported, the standard way is to checkout a copy, add some files using 'svn add' and them commit them to the repository.
How do I upload a single file from my local computer to a SVN repository?
I can import a directory, but I can't import a single file into existing directory.
I use SVN in linux (command line).
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:
I forgot to mention, I need to upload this file into a specific directory that has nothing to do with directory structure in my local computer (say I upload from Desktop).
So I want to upload a file from Desktop to https://.../somefolder
This can be done as the OP requires.
svn import -m "Adding a new file" file_to_upload.ext http://example.org/path/to/repo/file_to_upload.ext
This allows uploading a file directly into the repository without checking out to a local working directory.
Well, short answer is that it doesn't work like that :)
In SVN you work with a checked-out revision of your repository. In order to "upload a single file" you have to "add" the file with "svn add foo.txt" and then run "svn commit -m "Added file foo" foo.txt". But you can only do this to an existing repository. Therefore you must first checkout the revision (rev of trunk or a given branch) of the repository to add the file to. So the entire steps would be something like
svn co https://svn.internal.foo.com/svn/mycoolgame/branches/1.81
create your new file in the correct place in the folder structure checked out.
svn add your new file
svn ci -m "added file lalalalala" you new file
After this, you can delete your local copy again.
8-year edit: As mentioned svn import can also be used to accomplish this without having a local copy under version control. Do note though that this does so recursively and will add directories not present in the repository. This could be desired behavior or a source of potential errors depending on the situation.
svn add /path/to/your/file.txt
svn ci /path/to/your/file.txt -m "This is where the message goes"
Or if you havn't added anything else just commit with
svn ci -m "Your message"
svn add filename
svn commit filename
I'm fairly new to linux and svn. I'm trying to checkout the trunk folder of a project into my public_html directory using this command (while in public_html):
svn checkout file:///home/landonwinters/svn/waterproject/trunk
The waterproject directory contains the files from untarring a base install of drupal.
It checks out fine, except all the files are in public_html/trunk instead of just being in public_html.
I don't know the command to move all the contents of trunk up to public_html and rm trunk, but I think I could figure that out relatively easily. I just want to know if I can just check out the contents of a folder, without the folder itself.
Just add a . to it:
svn checkout file:///home/landonwinters/svn/waterproject/trunk .
That means: check out to current directory.
svn co svn://path destination
To specify current directory, use a "." for your destination directory:
svn checkout file:///home/landonwinters/svn/waterproject/trunk .
Just add the directory on the command line:
svn checkout svn://192.168.1.1/projectname/ target-directory/
Provide the directory on the command line:
svn checkout file:///home/landonwinters/svn/waterproject/trunk public_html
